Module options
--------------

   Either regular modules or ampersand modules can contain options,
which supply additional information concerning the module.

`-d NAME'
     Name the working directory something other than the module name.

`-e PROG'
     Specify a program PROG to run whenever files in a module are
     exported.  PROG runs with a single argument, the module name.

`-i PROG'
     Specify a program PROG to run whenever files in a module are
     committed.  PROG runs with a single argument, the full pathname of
     the affected directory in a source repository.  The `commitinfo',
     `loginfo', and `verifymsg' files provide other ways to call a
     program on commit.

`-o PROG'
     Specify a program PROG to run whenever files in a module are
     checked out.  PROG runs with a single argument, the module name.

`-s STATUS'
     Assign a status to the module.  When the module file is printed
     with `cvs checkout -s' the modules are sorted according to
     primarily module status, and secondarily according to the module
     name.  This option has no other meaning.  You can use this option
     for several things besides status: for instance, list the person
     that is responsible for this module.

`-t PROG'
     Specify a program PROG to run whenever files in a module are
     tagged with `rtag'.  PROG runs with two arguments: the module name
     and the symbolic tag specified to `rtag'.  It is not run when
     `tag' is executed.  Generally you will find that taginfo is a
     better solution (Note: user-defined logging).

`-u PROG'
     Specify a program PROG to run whenever `cvs update' is executed
     from the top-level directory of the checked-out module.  PROG runs
     with a single argument, the full path to the source repository for
     this module.

"program options" programs are run.
